2025 Seochon Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

When it comes to traveling in Seoul, most people will first think of Hongdae, Sinsadong, Myeongdong and other busy areas, but in fact, Seochon in Jongno District is the place where many gentle textures are hidden. If you like to explore low-key but profound alleys, you will definitely love this place. Ouvert Seoul, a popular dreamy store. When you walk into the store, the design-rich space instantly gives you the illusion of being in a Parisian art gallery.

It is very relaxing even if you just come here for an hour. ✨Recommended must-order: Ouvert Special Latte: A little nutty, with just the right amount of milk; Tiramisu cupcakes: Delicate portion, just the right sweetness, and great for photo taking seoul Address: 서울 종로구 필운대로 3 #MarchGoodPlaces2025 #Seoul Cafe Recommendation #Korean Quality Cafe #Korean Aesthetics #IG Check-in Hotspot #Must-visit Korea Travel #Korean Girls' Favorite #Dessert Control Heaven #ouvertseoul #Seoul Attractions Sharingouvert

If you enjoy wandering aimlessly in a city, discovering surprises in small alleys, then Seochon (서촌) in Seoul is definitely for you. Unlike bustling downtown areas, Seochon has a quiet and charming atmosphere that makes you want to slow down and savor every detail. Seochon is home to many interesting little shops, such as handmade workshops, creative boutiques, and old house cafes full of stories, each with its own unique charm. You can randomly pick one to sit down and you'll love it. While strolling, don't forget to pay attention to those inconspicuous alleys, as they might hide unexpected galleries or vintage shops. This place is perfect for casual walks, allowing you to find a sense of leisure and freedom even in the city. Seochon doesn't have flashy attractions, but its charm lies in this casualness, giving you a sense of grounded tranquility that makes you fall in love with it. Highly recommended to everyone ❤️

#Lunar New Year's Day Travel My own private villa in the middle of the city, Seochon Byeoldang Another new hanok accommodation opened 6 minutes away from Gyeongbokgung Station. It's convenient to go there by walking or driving, so it's great. There are many delicious restaurants around the food alley, so it's a good place to rest for a day after enjoying a trip to Seoul. If you soak in the hot water in the jacuzzi on a cold day, you don't have to worry about the cold wave. It's just heaven right here 🫧 Seochon Hanoks are old houses, so they are often cold and have small spaces, but Seochon Byeoldang was really warm enough to be hot, not cold? The size of the accommodation and the separation of spaces were so good that I was able to rest comfortably without any inconvenience, and I'm full of thoughts about visiting again in the warm season. If you ask about a place to stay for two in Seochon, I'll say this place right away 🫡 . . 📍Seochon Byuldang @seochon_byuldang Seochon Byuldang, 1st floor, 25-4 Sajik-ro 9-ga-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul 🕰Check-in 16:00 Check-out 11:00 💳Stayfolio reservation ▪️Up to 2 people based on 2 people ▪️Indoor Jacuzzi ▪️Living room, bedroom, bathroom, yard #Hot place #Emotional accommodation

#Seoul #Day City Tour #Seoul Travel Seoul Day Tour Literary Niche Recommended Itinerary If you also like a leisurely travel experience and don’t want to rush through the crowds, I highly recommend spending a whole day walking from Samcheong-dong all the way to Seochon. This area has many art museums and galleries and is close to Gyeongbokgung Palace. The overall atmosphere makes people feel the ingenious fusion of ancient and modern times. It has both a profound sense of culture and exudes a modern artistic atmosphere. If you love visiting art galleries and museums, the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) is a must-visit in this area. But I personally prefer the Sunjae Art Center, Daelim Art Museum and Kukje Gallery. These places have their own characteristics, and the artworks on display are often surprising and worth savoring slowly. / Itinerary: If it is your first time there, you can go to the London Bagel Museum or Artist Bakery in the morning to make an appointment and queue up. During the waiting time (normally about 1-2 hours), you can head towards Samcheong-dong to visit the art museum. It's really comfortable. The buildings and streets are beautiful. / After eating, you can choose to take the MRT or ride a scooter to Seochon (Gyeongbokgung Station). Many specialty coffee shops have recently opened here, as well as quite a few interesting independent shops. If you need a list, feel free to leave a comment or add me on IG! This time I was mainly strolling around. No matter where I go here, I can always find surprises. It is really suitable for slow exploration. Nishimura selected a few places to visit this time Leave it below for your reference 🙂 / Art Museum/Art Gallery / 📍 Ground Seesaw Seochon 📍 Arumjigi Cultural Keepers / Small shop (more popular) / 📍 ofr. Séoul 📍 The most beautiful girl 📍 YURTSTUDIO 📍 One More Bag / cafes / 📍LEEDORIM Coffee & Vegan Bakery Gyeongbokgung Cafe (will add a post later) 📍 Scooper gelato (originally wanted to go but didn’t make it 🥲) 📍 Edition Denmark Finally, after visiting Seochon, we went to Jongno 3-ga, which is not too far away, for dinner. #钟路鸡林姜蓉辣鸡汤 This place is really delicious.

#SeoulTravel #100WaysToTravel Seoul. Seochon｜SCOFF BAKEHOUSE While walking in Seochon, Seoul that day, I came across this two-story bakery with red brick walls full of British style - SCOFF. As soon as you open the door, you will be greeted by the aroma of baked goods. The store’s signature product is the handmade classic English scone. Chocolate and matcha flavors are particularly popular. In addition, their chocolate brownies and ginger cakes are also well-loved by customers, and many dessert lovers come here specifically to taste them. The second floor provides an indoor seating area with a simple and warm environment. Since we were already full that day, we ordered a few scones to take away. Most of the customers in the store are nearby residents. It is a really warm and lovely space. If you are also a fan of handmade baking, SCOFF is a place worth trying. ////////////////////////////// Shop Information ///////////////////////////// @scoffbakehouse 📍 Address: 31 Pirundae-ro 5ga-gil, Jongno District, Seoul, South Korea ⏰ Business Hours: 08:30–20:00 #Na Wants to Eat #naamangequoi #seoulkorea #scones #bakery #dessert #SCOFF烘店 #西村甜

My favorite Seochon area is just a 15-minute walk from Gyeongbokgung Station. It's delightful to take a leisurely stroll and randomly pick a cafe to relax in. Apostrophe's Marlenka is actually a traditional Czech cake, rarely seen in regular cafes. It's quite dense and sweet, but worth a try. The bear-shaped affogato ice cream is recommended to be eaten with the accompanying olive oil for a completely different texture. Definitely worth a try. Almond Cream Latte / 7,000 KRW Chocolate Marlenka / 6,000 KRW Summer Affogato / 7,000 KRW Apostrophe Address: 32, Pirundae-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul Business Hours: 12:00 - 21:00

If you go to Jongno, I recommend Ground Siso Seochon Goods Shop 🎁 You can buy various goods such as MagSafe cases with current exhibitions drawn on them, MagSafe card wallets, AirPod cases, etc. 😍 It's a good case to buy as a couple item or friendship item, so I recommend you visit if you go to Jongno! Even if you don't visit the exhibition, the atmosphere of Ground Siso is good, and you can buy couple items at the goods shop, or do fun activities such as drawing a Gotcha 👍 If you don't like the same date course every time, I recommend you visit ~ #June Travel Support Fund

I highly recommend the Seochon exhibition, which perfectly matches the vibrant colors of the current season transitioning from spring to early summer ♥️ The exhibition by Werner Bronkhorst, held at Ground Seesaw Seochon, is filled with warm and heartwarming colors that are a delight to the eyes 💓 If you enjoy exhibitions, I suggest you pay a visit~ The quality and charm of the artworks are so captivating that it's hard to take your eyes off your favorite pieces ⭐️ This is one of the most satisfying exhibitions I've seen recently, and I hope many others get to experience it too!

The weather is getting warmer! It's best to play indoors ㅎㅎ If you're looking for an indoor place to visit in Jongno, I recommend the Warner Bronckhorst exhibition 🩵 There are a lot of people on the weekends, so there's a waiting line, but it was nice to spend time looking at the artwork in a cool indoor space :) #June travel support fund

Seochon exhibition Warner Bronkhorst that makes sports activities fun!

Full of green, it's perfect for weather like today Ground Seesaw Seochon's Warner Bronkhorst exhibition 💐 It was a satisfying exhibition all the way through because the colors were soothing to the eyes just by looking at them ㅎㅎ Since it's an exhibition where you can appreciate original paintings, not printed works, I recommend visiting if you go to Seochon! #June Travel Support Fund

A painting drawn in detail on a large canvas! The Warner Bronkhorst exhibition, where you can see detailed paintings of various genres, is one of the hottest exhibitions in Seochon right now 🔥 It feels like an exhibition that is worth the admission fee for the first time in a long time, so I recommend that many people go see it 🩵 If you like exhibitions, I highly recommend it!

Located near Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul, Seochon has bingsu (Korean shaved ice) made with seasonal fruits 🍧✨ This time I ordered peach bingsu 🍑🍧 It looks cute and tastes great!! ✨ It is topped with a generous amount of ripe, large fruit flesh, and has fluffy milk-flavored shaved ice inside. It is delicious to eat separately, but it also goes really well together. It was delicious 🥹 It also comes with condensed milk and bean paste, so you can add it to your liking and eat it as a pat bingsu 🙌 The type of fruit changes depending on the season, so I think it's a good idea to find out what fruit is available at that time 🤍 In addition to bingsu, they also have parfaits and cakes 😊 It's so delicious that you'll be impressed with just one bite, so if you're interested in taking a walk around Gyeongbokgung Palace and want to take a break, please come and try it ♩ Price of peach bingsu: 29,800 Won Address: 53-30 1, 2-chome, Hanwha-dong, Seocho-gu Access: Subway Line 3, Gyeongbokgung Station 747m from Exit 2 Hours: 12:30-18:30 *Closed every Monday #SeoulTrip #Seocheon #Bingsu #SeoulCampaign

"I never realized such stunning scenery was so close by." This was the most quintessentially Seoul day I've ever had. From the tranquil and serene hanok streets to the Blue House, the former presidential office, this journey helped me rediscover Seoul within Seoul. ⸻ 1. Starting the Morning at Bukchon Hanok Village 🌿 The journey began at Anguk Station. Bukchon Hanok Village is at its most beautiful in the morning. Walking through the quiet streets during the less crowded hours feels like stepping into a time machine, immersing yourself in a peaceful and pristine atmosphere. As you climb the narrow alleys, you might find yourself slightly out of breath, but the view at the top is breathtakingly beautiful. One must-visit spot is the Gahoe-dong alley view, one of Bukchon’s eight scenic points, perfect for capturing photos. Walking carefully to preserve the quiet ambiance, even the sunlight streaming through the old hanok windows felt like a work of art. ⸻ 2. Strolling Over to Seochon 🍂 Next, I moved on to Seochon, a neighborhood with a distinctly different vibe from Bukchon. While Bukchon feels "neat and traditional," Seochon exudes a "natural and artistic" charm. Hidden among its alleys are small galleries, independent bookstores, and old-style cafes, making every step an exciting discovery. The traces of long-time residents could be felt in the alleys, and the whimsical emotions of artists were evident in the murals scattered throughout the streets. Lunch was a hearty traditional Korean meal at a local Seochon restaurant. ⸻ 3. Finally, Entering the Blue House 🇰🇷 After a satisfying meal, I headed to the Blue House for my reserved tour. Even after its opening to the public in 2022, it still feels surreal to walk through such a historically significant space. The expansive Nokjiwon garden and the main building were far more majestic and serene than they appear in photos. While the interior of the main building, the former presidential office, is off-limits, its exterior alone exudes a dignified atmosphere. Walking along the trails, you encounter places like the Chunchugwan, Yeongbingwan, and Chilgung, all deeply connected to Korea’s modern history. The view of Bukaksan Mountain extending from the Blue House is truly awe-inspiring.
